Abstract

Sixty-six urdbean genotypes were evaluated for resistance against MYMV and Cercospora leaf spot diseases under natural conditions in the field. There was considerable variation among the genotypes with respect to disease reaction. Disease score of the genotypes ranged from “2–7” for Cercospora leaf spot and from “1–7” for MYMV. Sixteen genotypes have disease reaction of = 3 for both the diseases.
